Hannah Kahn Dance Company presents
CLOSING IN

The Hannah Kahn Dance Company will present “Closing In” and Other Dances at the Cleo Parker Robinson Theater on October 26 and 27, 2018. The nine company dancers will bring to fruition seven works representing a 40 year span of Kahn’s creative output.

The premiere on the program, Juxtaposition, is set to music of Colorado’s own Daniel Kellogg, a professor at the College of Music at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The fervent and heartfelt score has continued to inspire Kahn and the dancers through each and every rehearsal.

Take It All In, which had its premiere in April of this year, is set to three songs by acoustic rock singer and guitarist Zack Hechendorf.  The dancers thoroughly enjoyed working with this delightful and current music. The movement and music seemed to bring the dancers’ personalities to the forefront, creating a fresh and sensual mood.

Closing In, which had its premiere in June of this year at the Presenting Denver Dance Festival, is set to music of contemporary Bulgarian composer Dobrinka Tabakova. Kahn has created a sextet which follows the score’s journey from a driving and turbulent opening, through the fragmented and scurrying spurts of the more delicate central passages, and ending with a hymn-like and spiritual sense of acceptance.

Orchid (1978), Go For Broke (1988), 3 excerpts from Constellations (2001), and Yonder (2009) will complete the program.
